[Pulp-dev] issue #3360 follow up

[David Davis]

After meeting with @dkliban and @jortel to discuss #3360, we came up with
an alternative proposal that has some small tweaks. Basically, all three
parameters (add_content, remove_content, and base_version) could be used
together and the parameter for the repository version would be called
‘base_version’. I think the parameter name of base_version make sense
because it aligns with the code and since we’re allowing all three
parameters to be used in conjunction, the repo version is a sort of base
that you build on by adding/removing content.

Would like to get people’s thoughts on this alternate proposal.
